And maybe Wolverine is just traveling the world and then he met someone in Japan. Or maybe he's still mourning about Jean Grey and tried to move out from X-Mansion and go to some place where he could forget Jean.

His happiness was his denial about what actually happened. He'll wake up one day and wonder what ever happened to "Jean Grey"? Then he'll say, "oh..." Then he will accept his depression and move to japan.

i think they'll start out with him as a homeless bum. and some asks.

"logan ... why did you give up...?"

i mean what happened to the school and all the mutant kids?

what happened to the school? is the school closed down?

where did everyone go? why did logan leave his home at the school to be a bum in the streets? i just feel they need to address that. i'm sure they will.

Logan is close to immortal, although he does age, its at a very slow pace. So it could easily be 10 - 30 years after Last Stand. So alot of things could have happened since then, they dont really have touch on that... Plus Wolverine is a loner, maybe he just wanted to be alone after a few years with the kids.

well, I think the question he's really asking is, if someone saw X3 and followed it up with this film (as is the chronological order), why there is such a difference between where he last was versus where he is now.

Bhayes is asking for speculation as to what might be the in-film explanation for people who crave those sorts of explanations.

and don't give me the "deleted scene" nonsense, most people haven't seen those, and as we know, studios will often contradict deleted scenes

personally, knowing so much about wolverine, I need no explanation for why he would wander off. But for the General Audience, a quick line to explain it may be necessary. And given Jean Grey's presence, I'm sure they'll address it

There really shouldn't be any question as to why Logan's no longer at the school given the way his characterization was handled in previous films. Although he does make the conscious decision to stick around and help Storm rebuild Xavier's school and mansion, he's also very much a loner at heart, and given the strength of the connection he felt to Jean, things at some point are going to get to be too much for him to deal with, and his ingrained 'fight or flight' response of just packing up and taking off is going to kick in.
